Hi, I am facing an issue with library. Hope someone can help. I have installed DBnomics libaray and trying to run the first sample code that I found in the documentation at this [link](https://docs.db.nomics.world/download-data/). However, I am getting the following error: _Could not fetch data from URL ‘[https://api.db.nomics.world/v22/series/OECD/MEI/USA.B6BLTT01.CXCUSA.Q?observations=1&offset=0](https://api.db.nomics.world/v22/series/OECD/MEI/USA.B6BLTT01.CXCUSA.Q?observations=1&offset=0)’_ However, if I paste that exact URL in the browser, I get a successful response with the data. Am I doing something wrong or it’s a problem related to the library? Code: import dbnomics dbnomics.fetch\_series(‘OECD’, ‘MEI’, ‘USA.B6BLTT01.CXCUSA.Q’) Screenshot: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/dbnomics/original/1X/a187ec0ab43da50d0925093f9d0fa77471209dd6.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/dbnomics/original/1X/764b1461566371b600794903147968102227c442.png) ---

Hi @gb1 and welcome to the DBnomics community! Thanks for your detailed error report. I just tried the code snippet, and it worked as in the docs. Could you please retry? I suspect that it was a temporary high load on DBnomics that caused the inability to load data. ---

I tried again before and after reinstalling the library but still seeing the same error. ---

However I noticed that this happens only on my local jupyter. I tried the same query on Colab and it worked seamlessly. ---

In the error stack trace you attached (`Error.pdf`), the “real” error is: ```auto File ~\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\dbnomics\ __init__.py:572, in _fetch_response(url, timeout) 570 timeout = default_timeout --> 572 response = httpx.get(url, follow_redirects=True, timeout=timeout) 574 if response.status_code in {429, 500, 502, 503, 504}: TypeError: get() got an unexpected keyword argument 'follow_redirects' ``` This makes me think that a wrong version of the `httpx` dependency could be installed. However I could not reproduce the problem. Doing it myself, here is my command-line logs from scratch: ```bash $ python -V Python 3.11.6 $ virtualenv dbnomics-venv $ . ./dbnomics-venv/bin/activate $ pip install dbnomics [...] # Checking the versions of the dependencies $ pip list Package Version --------------- ------------ anyio 4.2.0 certifi 2023.11.17 dbnomics 1.2.5 h11 0.14.0 httpcore 1.0.2 httpx 0.26.0 idna 3.6 numpy 1.26.3 pandas 2.1.4 pip 23.3.2 python-dateutil 2.8.2 pytz 2023.3.post1 setuptools 69.0.3 six 1.16.0 sniffio 1.3.0 tenacity 8.2.3 tzdata 2023.4 wheel 0.42.0 $ python Python 3.11.6 (main, Nov 14 2023, 09:36:21) [GCC 13.2.1 20230801] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import dbnomics >>> dbnomics.fetch_series('OECD', 'MEI', 'USA.B6BLTT01.CXCUSA.Q') @frequency provider_code dataset_code ...

PS: just for your information, instead of a screenshot or a PDF, which are not very convenient to read and copy-paste, the idiomatic way to attach source code in forum messages is by using “fenced code blocks”, cf [docs](https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#fenced-code-blocks) ---
